• B. Being lignified
• C. Being multicelled

Answer 1

The correct option is D Providing mechanical support

Both vessels and tracheids have the function of providing mechanical support to the cell. Tracheids have lignified walls and are dead whereas vessels are not. Tracheids originate from a single cell but vessels originate from a longitudinal file of cells.

So, the correct option is 'Providing mechanical support'.
